Fairness

Verifiable fairness, grounded in implemented controls.

PokerWorks treats fairness as an auditable platform property. Canonical shuffled production hands use a cryptographically strong shuffle path, persist hand-level fairness evidence before dealing, and do not proceed if required proof persistence cannot complete.

Implemented controls

Cryptographically strong shuffle path

Canonical shuffled production hands are prepared through PokerWorks controlled shuffle and proof path before cards are dealt.

Read the control

No fairness record, no canonical shuffled hand

For canonical shuffled production hands, required proof persistence is fail-closed after bounded retry.

Read the control

One prepared deck per hand

PokerWorks does not support hidden reshuffles, ad hoc redraws, or silent deck fixes after the deck is prepared.

Read the control

Seat-scoped bot decisions

PokerWorks product bots receive an explicit bot-visible hand view: their own cards, public table state, legal actions, and no hidden opponent cards or remaining deck order.

Read the control

Retained-window evidence policy

Fairness corpus counts are reported as retained hot-store windows unless an approved archive manifest supports broader claims.

Read report rules

Statistical attestation path

Operator reports measure coverage and public-card distributions over a bounded retained corpus without reading private transcripts.

Read the baseline

Dispute investigation workflow

Fairness concerns are handled through an operator audit workflow with controlled access to private evidence only when required.

How to read our fairness numbers

Retained window

Corpus counts describe the retained hot-store reporting window, not all-time hands dealt.

Explicit scope

Reports must state brand, tenant, dates, storage tier, and which hand families were observed.

No private leakage

Public reports use compact facts and metadata. Raw proof secrets, ordered decks, and private transcripts are not published.

Fairness accountability log

No public fairness-impacting incident report published yet

If PokerWorks confirms a fairness-impacting defect, this page will publish the date, scope, affected hand range where known, remediation, and current status.

This log is a beta public-reporting surface. It is not an all-time incident history for earlier development resets, test data, or unpublished internal investigations.

If you have a fairness concern

Send the hand number, table, brand, approximate time, and what looked wrong. Support can route the concern into the PokerWorks fairness investigation workflow.

Brand fairness pages

Brand sites should summarize this platform posture in their own voice, then link here for the canonical controls and report semantics. They should not maintain independent fairness claims that drift from PokerWorks.
